pie

Did you know you can make a pie on the grill? Pie for dessert, no oven needed. Sometimes I just wish I could turn my oven off all summer long. I’m envious when my friends say “I haven’t turned on my oven in a month, it’s so hot! Who wants to bake cookies when...

S’mores, pudding, and Oreos, all in one no-bake dessert! So…whenever I look at this Oreo S’mores Trifle, my head hurts. As amazing as the trifles are, they caused me to have a major accident in the kitchen. (Okay. So maybe it wasn’t their fault exactly…but blaming my klutziness on food makes me feel better.)...

"How old are you going to be this year?""34?""34? Are you sure? How old am I again?""What year is it?"Yeah, those are snippets of actual conversations from around the Redden abode as my June birthday approached. Apparently we've lost all track of our m...

It’s that time of year: HOT. I want to eat only cold and frozen food, and popsicles fit that bill! One of these days I will stop complaining about how hot it is. (When that day comes, you’ll know it’s winter.) Pretty much all I want to do right now is lay on top of...

There’s nothing I don’t love about this pie: Butterfingers, easy homemade ice cream, and an Oreo crust. Doesn’t get much better! I’m back! Did you miss me? (In all honesty, that’s not a fair question. Unless you follow me on Instagram, you probably didn’t even know I was gone.) My family and I spent...

Don’t freak out people, I promise you’ll love these. I pinky swear with caramel sauce on top! Jordan is attending four birthday parties this month. FOUR. Everyone is turning 10 so all of them are tweens that love glitter, bling, and Justice For Girls. Have you heard of Justice? It’s a clothing store for...

Summer is in full swing around here and that means I’m living on no-bake recipes, strawberries are super cheap, and I’ve got pie on the brain. (Who am I kidding? I always have pie on the brain!) So, when did summer become busier than the school year? Oh yeah, when my daughter’s social calendar rivals...

You wouldn’t judge someone if they ate half a cheesecake in just a couple of days, would you? I’m asking for a friend. Well, it’s starting. We’re on tap to get our first triple-digit day here in Sacramento this week. I don’t know why I’m surprised – this happens every year. May creeps into...

Raise your hand if you don’t like the store-bought Oreo Cookie Crusts. Don’t worry – you never need to buy one again! Now you can make your own with this perfect DIY recipe, and the best part? You can use ANY flavor Oreo cookie!! It’s our last week of school. In 3 days Jordan...

Have you ever eaten a dessert and had it change your life? This dessert did that for me. Okay, so maybe “changing my life” is a little bit of a stretch. What I should have said is “made me fat” because that’s how it changed my life. You guys, I ate way too much...
